After Jeremy Lin led the Knicks to a 100-85 win over the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday, MSG network displayed an image featuring the point guard's face posted above a broken fortune cookie with the words “The Knicks Good Fortune." Some viewers believed the image was an MSG-created graphic, but a network spokesperson told Sporting News it was a fan's sign.

Lin, who is of Taiwanese and Chinese descent, has been the target of disparaging tweets about his heritage since his play thrust him into the public eye. Boxer Floyd Mayweather said Lin is receiving attention on the scale that he has because he is Asian. Fox Sports columnist Jason Whitlock posted a Tweet that perpetuated a stereotype about Asian men.
